Terrible Mining Disaster

The great mine disaster at VIC
toria, British Columbia, is one of
the most horrible of the year. one
hundred whites and seventy-fve
Chinese were killed. The explo-
sion rendered forty women widows
and one hundred and thirty chill
dren orphans. The exploring par
ties find the drifts everywhere
choked with dead, and yesterday
the crowds of friends and relatives
who gathered about the shaft were
nearly frantic with grief and anx-
iety. When bodies were brought
up and recognized the scenes were
heart rending. The flags of the
city are at half-mast and business
is suspended.

THE Gas FIGHT.
:. May 8 1852

Superintendent Patton S last re-
port contained a valuable piece of
information, in that it stated that
there are indications that the car
bonic acid gas has filed to as high
as the 100 level The entire
spaces to be filled are contained in
openings of all kinds between the
1900 and 1900 levels. with the large
openings above the 100 level.
Knowing that it would be inter
esting to our readers to know how
Mr.. Patton can tell that the car
bonic gas has filed to the 1900, We
will state that the point of entrance
is some seventy feet lower than the
100 level in the Ophir incline.
When the fires were set In the. fur
mace, which is on the 100 level,
the draft was very strong. Mr..
Patton anticipated that when the
gas was filled to given point above
the level of the surface, this draft
would not only diminish, but he
would in fact be obliged to force it
in. He prepared to do this by put
ing IN blower, and kept it stand
ing ready for use. He has now
been using the blower for seven or
eight days, the draft not only hav-
ing failed entirely, out putting back
like rebellious stove. 1t will thus
be seen that he has no difficulty in
ascertaining that the carbonic acid
gas has reached a point higher
than his furnace.
The Baker blower is a success.
1t blows in over $4,000 cubic feet
of gas per day, and is not running
at one-quarter of its power.-Re-
port,

DEATH.

Death is not always terrible. When an
infant in its mothers arms fades quiet
ly from life into the vague beyond it
strikes no terror to the heart nor pic
lures on the mind a lasting impression
of horror. The parents heart is filled
with grief, and bitter tears are shed,
and the absence of the little life from
our presence causes an aching void,
and we mourn for our hopes that are
blasted, but we never fear for the
future of the little soul.
When old age lays by the struggle of
life, and the spirit takes it flight from
body bent with years. we think, per-
haps grim death is not so grim nor the
dark beyond SO dark, in the eyes of
those whose life struggles have been
spent in many places. We think per-
haps another and better life is wait
ing for the world worn one, and the
closing eyes are only yelled to be open
ed in fairer and brighter land.
But when death comes with swift
and sudden swoop and snatches from
our side one in the prime of life; when
one who seemingly is full of hope, and
health, and vigOr, with everything
about him which should make life
sweet, when such a one with frenzied
haste breaks suddenly the cord of life
thrill of horror spreads through every
vein, the cheek is blanched, the tongue
is dumb, and eyes look into other eyes
which stare again, and down within
the deepest recess of our souls there
| sinks a heavy feeling of regret, and we
wonder where the life has flown, and
when, and where, and why the mind of
such one conceived the thought that
death would end it all.
No, death is not always terrible, but
coupled with dispair, dishonor and dis
grace, it leaves feeling in our hearts
that
"'Tis not all of life to live
Nor all of death TO die"

The political tide is running in favor
of the democrats this fall and every
thing so far, points to an overwhelming
victory next year. In Baltimore when
the republican press has been saying for
weeks that there was great disaffectiOn
in the democratic ranks, by largely
increased majority. The administration
of President Cleveland has been emf
nently satisfactory and these manifes-
tations of approval are not unexpected.
So far as future events may be fore
told by presents indications it seems
almost a certainty that Grover Cleve-
land will begin his second term of office
March the 18th, 1889.

WE understood that the republican
candidates are telling the people
throughout the county they will carry
GreatBend by startling and over-whelm
ing majorities. We want or Ibreth-
rem throughout the county to under
stand that these claims are made fol
effect only. The democrats of this city
are up in arms and working as they
never worked before and the republi-
can candidates will not receive above
the normal majority of the party. In
deed, feel confident that they will fall
short of last years majority.

The talk that Leonard Krause has
already settled upon Il deputy for the
office of county treasurer should he be
elected, is we understand being urged
in certain localities as Il reason why
the people should not vote for him.
This is the last issue of the DEMOCRAT
before the election and We desire to
speak of this subject in a way that will
leave no doubts i'll the minds of the
people. The man whom these wise
acres say is to be Mr.. Krause's deputy
in case he is elected is MI. Fred Zuta-
vern. This morning we approached
Mr.. Zutavern OH the subject and he
spoke freely and candidly, assuring us
that he never mentioned the subject to
Mr.. Krause and would not accept the
deputy ship under amy circumstances
Mr.. Zutavern is man of veracity and
when he assures us that he will not
do certain thing we believe him
This is another campaign lie and we
are glad to nail it.

The following item we clip from the
Ration, n. NJ, Range of Oct. 2Sth.
About four weeks ago a young lady,
Miss Emma Beye, of Great Bend, Kas.,
came to the Gate City to visit Mrs. I.
E. Hall former acquaintance and
friend. Last Sunday, Oct. %. another
party came. This time young gen.
tleman. Frederic Stauffer, of the firm
of Stauffer & Bro, wholesale provision
merchants in Great Bend, Kans. On
Monday morning the pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church was called
down to the firm of Born s. HOtchkins.
where he was informed that the above
named young people desired to get
married. On repairing to the home OF
MFR. Hall he found the young people,
who were pleasant, indeed Mr.. Stauf-
fer is pleasant, seusible-lOoking young
man. of German descent. Miss. Beye
is pleasant, attractive young lady,
and looked very beautiful in her we'd
ding attire, which was the work OF the
deft fingers of one of our Ration dress
makers. They were married at the
residence of Mr.. T. f. Hall. at IL a. M.
by Rev. G. W. Ray. Mr.. Stauffer took
his bride the same evening and boarded
the train for Sheridan Lake, Colo,
where the firm of Stauffer s. Bro have
branch store, of which the young man
is in charge.

If THERE is one man i'll the demo-

obligations, that man is Allen G. Thur

not be found. Here is man who has

this ''noble old Roman" in the present
Ohio campaign deserves to be written
in adamantine characters for the future
guidance of democrats. NOtwithstand-
ing all the indignities certain democrats
in his own state have heaped upon him,
forgetting the base ingratitude of those
whom he has led to victory, he plunges
into the present campaign with all the
vim and vigor of his earlier days. Here
is lesson, not only for the democrats
of Ohio, but for Kansas as well. If
any democrat thinks he has been mis-
treated by his party, or that his services
have not been properly rewarded, and
for that reason has grown cold and apa-
thetic in the cause, let him think how
Allen G.. Thurman was treated only a
few years since and then turn

has often said: 'Men are nothing,
principle everything" He thinks moth
ing of men. His battles are for the
eternal principles of democracy. He be-
lieves they are right and so believing,
pleads for them with unvarying force
and invincible logic. If there be
any democrat in Barton county whose
zeal for his party S principles has grown
slack because of real or fancied wrongs
let him take this peerless leader for
Il model and initiate his example.
